Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Joe Callahan led a game-winning drive in the final three and a half minutes and Philadelphia defeated the New York Jets 10-9 on Thursday night.
Callahan completed 18 of 26 passes for 164 yards and tossed a 4-yard touchdown to running back Matt Jones with 18 seconds remaining. The Eagles took the ball on their final drive down 9-3, and Callahan completed seven consecutive passes, capped by the eventual winning touchdown.
Jets kicker Jason Myers drilled a 58-yard field goal to provide all the first-half scoring.
The Eagles answered with a 55-yard Jake Elliott field goal in the third quarter. Myers answered for the Jets to cap a 10-play drive a few minutes later.
Eagles backup quarterback Christian Hackenberg had a game-high 66 rushing yards but was plagued by turnovers, including a pair of first-half interceptions. Hackenberg, who was drafted by the Jets, but let go and also dumped by the Oakland Raiders this summer, had not previously played for the Eagles in the preseason.
